A Shift In Rankings, Regrouping

Izroth knew that the hidden effect of an SSS-ranked skill had to be strong; however, for it to be a wide range AOE effect that was practically an instant kill was beyond his original expectations.

Not only that, but it could erase the existence of non-players from RML!

Though the most shocking thing was not the virtually instant kill effect or its massive range. Instead, it was its ability to permanently reduce a player's level by one.

While one level may not sound like a lot, for top players or those at level 49 or higher, it would be a dreadful experience. After all, players spent days of in-game time leveling up even once.

But, it did not stop there. If it was just that much, it could still be considered somewhat salvageable. However, the effect also restricted a player from logging in for 72 hours following their elimination!
